Ean Oz Sager

I'm a tattoo artist living in Tacoma, Wa. I have enjoyed various art forms my whole life. After years of working as a graphic designer I finished my B.A. in Animation and Visual Narrative from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. I was lucky enough to apprentice under Scott Falbo from 2008-2010. I have been tattooing ever since.

In most cases I will be able to give a quote for your tattoo prior to starting the tattoo. While charging an hourly rate, prices for single-sitting or multiple-session tattoos are determined upon completion of the session, based on elapsed time. You are welcome to provide a spending limit in advance, which can help me tailor the amount of time I spend on the tattoo to that amount.

I do not draw tattoo designs unless I will be the one tattooing them, on a client who already has an appointment booked with me.

Safety Concerns

I strive to maintain levels of cleanliness above and beyond industry standards. I stay updated on the best sanitation practices and preventative measures by taking seminars designed specifically for the tattoo industry. All of my tattoo needles are bought pre-made and sterilized by the manufacturer, and are disposed of in proper sharps containers after single use. I also use tubes and grips (the parts that house the needle during the tattoo) that are single-use disposable, and sterilized by the manufacturer or reusable grips properly cleaned and autoclaved on site. All of my tattoo inks are bought from companies who are respected industry leaders. These companies should be able to present Material Safety Data Sheets upon request of any potential tattoo collector. If you have any other questions about disease prevention and sanitation practices, please feel free to email me or ask during your tattoo appointment.
